In the Car example below I would like to get all the bars for individual countries the same color. For example: Jaguar, Jensen and Triumph would all be blue and Peugot would be red. It seems simple, but I spent a good chunk of Friday trying various API methods to no avail.

Have you considered using Conditional Formatting? Something like this:
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
     SQUEEZE=ON,     ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,$
DEFMACRO=COND0001,     MACTYPE=RULE,     WHEN=N1 EQ 'AUDI',$
DEFMACRO=COND0002,     MACTYPE=RULE,     WHEN=N1 EQ 'JAGUAR',$
DEFMACRO=COND0003,     MACTYPE=RULE,     WHEN=N1 EQ 'BMW',$
DEFMACRO=COND0004,     MACTYPE=RULE,     WHEN=N1 EQ 'MASERATI',$
TYPE=REPORT,     GRID=OFF,     FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',     SIZE=10,$
TYPE=DATA,     COLOR=RGB(240 240 240),$
TYPE=DATA,     ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,     MACRO=COND0001, COLOR=RED,$
TYPE=DATA,     ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,     MACRO=COND0002, COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=DATA,     ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,     MACRO=COND0003, COLOR=BLUE,$
TYPE=DATA,     ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,     MACRO=COND0004, COLOR=BLUE,$
ENDSTYLE

Thanks and Enjoy. I think it'll work out nicely for you as long as you know what items will be what colors. that can be done programatically...

It is not using the macros. All the bars are using the COLOR=RGB(240 240 240). I tried several variations on the macro theme and none successfully set the correct bar colors.

Doug,

Thank you for the help.

There is still a fundamental difference between your examples and my requirements. You are using an ACROSS and BY on CAR. I have to use BY COUNTRY, then BY CAR for my application. It changes the way the MACROs are defined and used. I cannot use ACROSSCOLUMN to assign the colors.

I used your looping method with my code. It counts the number of countries (5) and sets the first five COUNTRY/CAR combinations blue. I may be able to trick it into changing colors when the country changes.

TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
-SET &NumberOfSeries = &LINES * 1 ;
-TYPE We have &NumberOfSeries cars to graphs...
-SET &NumberOfSeries = &NumberOfSeries - 1 ;
-SET &LoopCounter = 0 ;

The problem ended up being the inclusion of
'setTemplateFile("/images/tdg/template/IBISouthWestern.txt");' I commented it out and the bars colored correctly.
